Cufon

24 February 2009

Cufón aims to become a worthy alternative to sIFR, which despite its merits still remains painfully tricky to set up and use. To achieve this ambitious goal the following requirements were set:
No plug-ins required – it can only use features natively supported by the client
Compatibility – it has to work on every major browser on the market
Ease of use – no or near-zero configuration needed for standard use cases
Speed – it has to be fast, even for sufficiently large amounts of text
And now, after nearly a year of planning and research we believe that these requirements have been met.

This looks very promising – it’s so much faster then sIFR (which I reluctantly use here) – to the extent it’s as fast as real text is to load. All the need to do is support :hover states for links and I’ll switch wholesale.
